 Tasted by ohne_musik on 3/6/2024 & rated 92 points: Breton Tasting with France Breton and Baptiste Desrrouseaux (Flatiron Wines SF): Burly, old school Loire, with good acid and a mix of red and black fruit. Less concentrated than the '05 Perrieres and more rustic, with quite grippy and chalky tannins. Just a smidge of brett and plenty of tomacco pyrazines. Lots of depth and soulfulness. The favorite for the old school Loire lovers. (144 views)
